Nice rant in the entry on OSNews about this… love the phrase “MLMs for unimpressive white males”.

I really enjoy the bingo card. Let’s see when I can find an opportunity to use it…

“K9: scom”, just need to figure out what scom is.

But my favorite part is in the upper left, the brain that just says “Autism” and “Autism” around it.

Next step: “I’m sick of having to press the ‘new prompt’ button, why doesn’t …”

I was only describing a specific kind of person, certainly wasn’t trying to imply that C/C++ devs generally have no care for security!

Also I wonder what his beef with Rust is? Is Rust woke?

I’ve seen this before. There is a special type of person out there who feels emasculated (yeah it’s always men, isn’t it) by the idea of a language statically enforcing memory-safety. Because, you know, real men write C or C++ with no safety rope and no seatbelt, juggling with raw pointers and chainsaws with their bare hands. They think that the only reason why C/C++ has produced an infinite abundance of bugs and security holes is because other programmers just suck. But they are different, they can handle it, they are very clever after all. And they won’t let some wusses take away their powers with all these ideas of memory safety by design.

I keep wondering: is this really a need which many people fundamentally have, or is AI usage doing something to their brains?

“What if we accidentally trans one of the cis??”

They always like to dress up these statements as medical concern. But it shines through that, despite whatever the person may express otherwise, deep down they think being trans is not really acceptable. Maybe partially acceptable at best, but should be avoided if possible. Very similar thought model to classics like “oh I’m fine with gay people, but what if my child sees two men holding hands and then wants to try it too??”

Is there already a term for the extreme opposite of impostor syndrome? Techbro syndrome maybe?

OpenAI has already threatened to leave Europe if it gets regulated too hard. Imagine GEMA being the ones to drive the chatbots out of Germany.

…I didn’t think I’d ever end up cheering on GEMA.

That’s like connecting a baking oven to a fridge and then marveling at the power of all the heat exchange

Besides the ridiculousness of those issues, I’m taken aback that this “game” is just a series of crappy cutscenes and then you can pick 1 of 3 choices here and there? Worst “choose your own adventure” ever…

does it depend on aws somehow?

Well, what do you think “aws” stands for ;)

Well at least I can now stop being angry at them for fucking up the Laptop 12 keyboard, because now they are on my “do not buy, ever” list anyway.

Microsoft says its Agent Mode in Excel has an accuracy rate of 57.2 percent in SpreadsheetBench, a benchmark for evaluating an AI model’s ability to edit real world spreadsheets.

They are openly admitting this? Do they really not realize how completely damning the number is…?

The YouTube ad looks like a trailer for a science fiction show about alienated humans who only have their chatbot to talk to.

Gosh, I thought this might be an overstatement, but if anything it’s an understatement! What were they thinking? The way the camera frames the gadget is downright ominous! I expected that any moment the music would change and become foreboding as we get hints about the dark secret behind it all, then quick cuts and obligatory trailer horn sounds, finally announcing a summer 2026 release date in any cinema near you.

Schiffman called Tab a “wearable mom.”

A what??

Yep… also: this. To be fair, the project did have a blog post last year about improvements to moderation, and claim that transphobes would not be tolerated, but I don’t know how things developed after that.

TIL about Omarchy.

Of course it uses Hyprland. Of course the demo video on the website shows using Grok in it.

Still can’t believe that choosing a Linux distribution now involves decision-making factors like “what’s their take on fascism”. But I guess the real problem is that such questions weren’t asked for way too long before.

Urgh, I couldn’t even get through the whole article, it’s too disgusting. What a surprise that yet another “no politics at work”-guy turns out to support fascism!

You’ll have to endlessly scroll Amazon and decide whether to buy the identical product from brand YDAKVKR or BNRTGRIV, reading ALL the fake reviews.
